Hello! I am Moostic, and I am from Canada! I am just another simple aspiring fanatic of Chernobyl and the exclusion zone that surrounds it.Everything about the zone holds what would be described by most that know me as a bizzare and deep fascination with everything Chernobyl. It's history, the effects of radiation, the dead, ghostly city of Pripyat, the returning wildlife... it is all astonishing to me.Unfortunately, I have not actually ever visited the zone, and the most I have seen of it is in pictures and videos. Of course I do intend on changing that, and hope on one day visiting the zone (NOT through those stupid paid tour bullshit.) and until recently I was not aware of this website. The moment I had discovered the forums here, I felt a glimmer of hope within - I feel myself slowly gaining more insight and immersion, and I feel my dream of finally stepping in the zone is coming closer and closer.I hope to partake more with the community here, and perhaps maybe even meet face to face soem day! Take care to all!-Moostic
